I got the test and I replied to it - but my "out" box has 4 messages now with apparently no way to send them

(unless there's a good old "ID10T" error that I'm not seeing)

Oh, that. That's phpbb being completely unintuitive. Out means you sent and the recipient hasn't picked it up yet. Sent means the recipient has read it. So, either the recipient hasn't logged in since you sent it or they're just not noticing that they have a new PM.

Re: Can't send PM's

well, it is a way to know that they weren't read, as opposed to the other person just not answering you.

Right now, I read your reply to my PM (should have moved to sent), but I'll leave the other one unread for now.
